ginger hair cascading down her back
her footsteps echo against the walls
tears streaming down her rosy cheeks
her hands trembling with an aching
sadness that overcomes her
this feeling of remorse and revenge
brings her to the steps of his door
where she sheds her lover's blood
drops of scarlet stains her fingers
painting her silk dress a sinister red
she lies beside his lifeless body
and weeps for the emptiness
in her heart until she drowns
it is a quiet releasing death
as she breathes her last breath
